Sorry, I can't reproduce either problem. I put your exact code in a fresh
app and didn't get either error using SQLite. You named the group table
"user_group", so I don't know why you would get an error saying the
"auth_group" table doesn't exist -- the Auth code never refers directly to
that name except when setting the default value of
settings.table_group_name (which you have overridden). So, you should only
get that error if auth.settings.table_group_name is somehow being changed
to "auth_group" after the table definitions but before the auth.add_group()
call.
Also, don't do:
auth.add_group('students', 'students')
auth.add_group('teachers', 'teachers')
That will keep creating new "students" and "teachers" groups on every
request. You have to check to see if the groups are there, and only add
them if they're not. But that's not efficient because it will still happen
on every request -- so instead, you should probably just add these groups
once outside your app code.
As for email, it works fine for me when I use my Gmail credentials. There
must be something wrong with your configuration. To play around with it,
trying opening a web2py shell:
python web2py.py -S yourapp -M -N
In the shell, you can access the "mail" object defined in the model and
trying sending a test email:
mail.send(to='someaddr...@gmail.com', message='test')
(The email address should be a valid address you can access.) If it prints
an error and returns False, there's something wrong with your email
configuration. You can play around with it by directly changing
mail.sender, mail.server, and mail.login in the shell and trying again.
